I'm running vista.
Check disk did not find any problems.
I have no other DVD players on this system, but I have DVD Decoder, Burn

got any MC compatible software.

Are you running MCE2005 or VistaMC?
Have you installed any other DVD player programs such a Nero?
What MCE compatible DVD Decoder software are you using?
Have you run Check disk on your system to confirm that your MC software has
not been corrupted?
